Inner Evolution

The morning routine included letting my dog out, walking around my sewing room and looking at my farm fashion life inspiration images while drinking a cup of Indonesian white coffee. The sun is rising in the distance over the trees as the geese in the pond flutter their feathers. The candle is lit with incense filling the air with reminders of Bali.

I have been shuffling about my mind lately trying to create order out of my creative evolution. This morning I finally pulled out plants I brought back from the SEW BROMO space, I have tried to spray them, air them and care for them but they are diseased and have started to contaminate my other plants. So I had to finally let them go so the others can grow.

The symbolic meaning of life in nature is an interesting avenue for understanding. I cannot grow something new when I keep caring for ideas that will never fully flow, despite how much I might hold onto them I cannot make a concept work with force. As I embark on this transition I am leaning in to the knowing that I will be shown the way. What for you needs to stop so you can start the next step with heart?

In many ways I wish I would have had a bit more faith in myself in the early days of the work. There are so many projects we started that were amazing. I loved the film making aspect but did not see it as the main thing. The fashion line was the priority for that is what I had known but now looking back I should have explored this space more.

Niki is a wonderful creative, we really were able to capture some amazing content in Bali. It was really helpful working with him because we would discuss the vision and he would make the storyboard and then I would perform in the shots that were then edited as a cohesive narrative.

This was the book we referenced. I was able to find one copy online and have ordered it.

Casey MacKenzie Johnson is an talented photographer and Stefania Margherita a wonderful model and PhD student from Brazil. Ruhani Singh styled and planned the photoshoot at my friend May's place in Chelsea, London. If I can find the balance between the fashion house and films that would be a great deal of fun. I have giving myself creative space to explore this dance. There are a number of occasions that people have commented that your fashion needs to be in films. I am less interested in making for other productions and rather building productions are my designs.
